"It's one thing saying it, it's another thing doing it," Haye added. "This is the type of guy who said he wants to fight me for the last few months, and we contacted him and asked 'do you want to do it?' and he said 'yes'. So he flew directly to England and sorted the contract out and that was done.

"Then Adam contacted Tyson's people and they're now going a different route which is fair enough, they don't have to fight me. But if you don't want to fight me or if you're not going to fight me then don't be telling the world you do, because it's bad."
